Wendy Davis tells Texas A&M students she wants them to have 'a story of starts'

There were "whoops" hollered and checks written for gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis on Wednesday as she made a campaign stop at Texas A&M and attended a fundraiser.

More than 400 Aggies gathered in Rudder Exhibit Hall to hear Davis promise increasing access to higher education via state grants and loans programs.

"I know what it's like to think that your future is gone, to face challenge after challenge and setback after setback, because mine is a story of stops," Davis said. "But more importantly mine is a story of starts, and as governor, I will make sure that story of starts is the story of every Texas child who is willing to work hard."

The rally in College Station is one of five college visits for the state senator this week. It is the second time her campaign has come to Brazos County, which gave Mitt Romney 57 percent of the vote in the last presidential election.
